Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 8 candidates for student government: Hal, Mary, Ann, Frank, Beth, John, Emily, and Tom.

The three candidates that receive the highest number of votes become candidates for a runoff election.

i.e. 3 persons out of 8 to be selected for becoming candidates for a runoff election.

Since order does not matter we use combinations here

3 persons out of 8 can be done in 8C3 ways

= 56

no of 3-candidate combinations  possible are 56

A linear function has a slope of 4 and a y-intercept of (0,-8). What is the x-intercept of the line?
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 2 or (2, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

slope = m = 4

y-intercept = -8

Process

1.- Write the equation of the line in the slope y-intercept

                    y = mx + b

In this equation:

m = slope

b = y-intercept

-Substitution

                   y = 4x - 8

2.- To find the x-intercept, consider that y = 0 and solve for x.

                   0 = 4x - 8

                   4x = 8

                     x = 8/4

                    x = 2    or (2, 0)

15 points+brainliest!! please help asap, this is due tonight please!!
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

x=\sqrt{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

Base of the isosceles triangle = 4

Perpendicular of the triangle = 3

In an isosceles triangle , a perpendicular bisects a base equally. So, here the isosceles triangle consist of 2 right angled triangles.

In that right angled triangles,

Base = 4/2 = 2 (∵ A perpendicular divides a base into 2 equal parts. )

Perpendicular = 3

Hypotenuse = x

So , according to Pythagorean Theorem ,

Hypotenuse = \sqrt{Base^2 + Perpendicular^2}

Using all the values above into the formula gives :-

x =\sqrt{2^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{4+9} =\sqrt{13}
